JUSTINE PHILLIP O. TADEO, JD
Education and Professional Background
With a passion for language and literature, I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature from Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan, graduating in 2010. However, my zeal for the legal profession eventually led me to seek admission to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. For this purpose, I enrolled at Liceo de Cagayan University, where I earned my Legum Baccalaureus/Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. I then successfully passed the Bar Examinations in 2019.
Before fully committing to the legal field, I gained valuable experience as a Sales Executive with BMW Premium Motoren. Despite the success in sales however, and with my ongoing endeavor as a student of the law, I felt a calling to make a more profound impact, which eventually led me to transition into the role of a paralegal at one of the top private firms in my city. It was during this time that I quickly honed the skills required of a competent lawyer and laid the foundation for my legal career.

AREAS OF PRACTICE
My present legal practice centers around criminal, civil, and administrative laws, areas in which I have developed strong proficiency over the years. However, my engagement in government service concurrent to my private legal practice has also allowed me to accumulate an in-depth understanding of government legal processes.
Currently, I am affiliated with one of the prominent line agencies in the country, being the Legal Officer of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office X. Through my association with this office, as well as my previous engagements with the government, I have had the opportunity to delve into various aspects of the law, allowing me to master the complexities of procurement laws and stay updated with recent relevant legislative developments, such as the newly enacted administrative adoption law, among others.
My proficiency in government-related legal matters offers me the opportunity to assist my clients with their business needs in a more meaningful and effective manner. Presently, I provide services for several corporate clients including companies in the field of sales and marketing, oil, and construction.

My ultimate goal is to make a positive impact in the lives of my clients as their advocate. And, my desire to provide them with a force that is to be reckoned with is what fuels my dedication to excellence.
